Question

Is online college just as good as in school college and is it less expensive?

Answer 1

I finished my degree online (the last year and a half). If you are self motivated and work well without having an instructor easy to reach, then it's fine. I found some of my classes tougher not being in the classroom because questions took longer to get answered and such.

The bonus is you can often move along at your own pace and I really like that.

I don't recall tuition being cheaper through the Uni I used than their in-class courses were. It may depend on the school you use...and do make sure they are accredited.

Answer 2

Yes and No

Online college is better in a way because you have less distractions online than in college and you can take it at your own pace but the only thing you miss is the fun on campus even though it is distracting.

But I would choose online school or go to college in the day and come home. because I would rather get my degree and have fun later and it is way cheaper than going on campus.

Answer 3

I would strongly recommend going to a traditional college. You get the total life experience and you can still do it for a reasonable price if you find the right school. College is more than just grades. It is meeting people and learning new things. You cannot get that sitting at home in front of a computer.

I would only recommend an online school if the person has no other choice.
